Rank Stereophile, & why no Von Schweikert reviews

I'd like to tag on to Gmood1's ideas about measurements and add that IMO all reviewers should post their hearing curves as measured by an audiologist. A reviewer's ability/inability to hear certain frequencies of sound (we all have them) are as unique as our fingerprint. Having this information then the reader could contrast the speaker measurements with the reviewers hearing curve and see why one reviewer would like a given speaker while the other may find it too "bright, flat, rounded off etc."

Perhaps Von Schweikert doesn't offer its products to Stereophile for review because they fear they would fare badly in the measurements department. They wouldn't be the first.

both magazines have become parodies. the real meat is only in the letters to the editor. the rest is as predictible as tv guide.

Did you ever notice that there aren't negative reviews any more.The content of Stereophile and TAS is watered down and it appears as if they don't want to offend anyone.Had to let my subscriptions go-too bad!But I still keep up with audio through AudioGon-not as many biases.

I read that Von Schweikert speakers do not measure well. But sound wonderfull. That they design their speakers by ear to sounds wonderfull with real music. Not perfect audiophile flat response. Just what I heard...
